How to choose the right earrings according to your face shape
When choosing a pair of earrings, it's important to consider not only the style and material, but also your face shape. The right earrings can balance your proportions, accentuate your features, and give you a harmonious look. In this guide, we'll show you which types of earrings suit each face shape and how to make the ideal choice.
1. Oval face – almost any style suits you
Features:
✔ Harmonious and balanced lines
✔ Slightly elongated, without prominent angles
Example of an oval face – Beyoncé
Earrings in the picture: Pink Topaz 14K Huggies , Serenity , Sky Topaz
Matching earrings:
✅ Small round earrings – for a delicate look
✅ Long pearl earrings – for added elegance
✅ Statement earrings – if you want to attract attention
Avoid: very long and thin earrings, which can make the face appear even longer.
2. Round face – elongated earrings for a slimming effect
Features:
✔ Almost equal width and length
✔ No pronounced angles
Example of a round face – Selena Gomez
Earrings in the picture: Geometry , Sienna , Santorini
Matching earrings:
✅ Long, thin earrings – visually elongate the face
✅ Chandelier earrings – create a vertical effect
✅ Geometric earrings – for an elegant contrast
Avoid: round or large earrings, which accentuate the round shape of the face.
3. Square face – earrings with delicate shapes to soften the features
Features:
✔ Forehead, cheekbones, and jaw are of similar widths
✔ Pronounced jaw angles
Example of face square: Angelina Jolie
Earrings in the image: Tiny Pearls , Golden Drop , L'Extravagante
Matching earrings:
✅ Round or oval earrings – soften straight lines
✅ Teardrop earrings – add fluidity
✅ Long, curved earrings – soften the strong jawline
Avoid: square or angular earrings, which can accentuate harsh facial lines.
4. Heart-shaped face – earrings that balance the wide forehead and narrow chin
Features:
✔ Wider forehead
✔ Narrow and sharp chin
Example of face heart-shaped: Reese Witherspoon
Earrings in the picture: Pink Raw Fiesta , Golden Light , Peridot & Pearl
Matching earrings:
✅ Chandelier earrings – balance the lower part of the face
✅ Teardrop-shaped earrings – draw attention to the jawline
✅ Round earrings – add volume to the chin area
Avoid: very small earrings or those that accentuate the upper part of the face.
5. Oblong face – short, chunky earrings for balance
Features:
✔ Longer than wide
✔ Forehead and jaw of similar size
Example of face elongated: Sarah Jessica Parker
Earrings in the picture: Tiny Pearl , Birdie , Sunset Citrine
Matching earrings:
✅ Round or stud earrings – visually widen the face
✅ Earrings with stones or voluminous pearls – balance the proportions
✅ Short and wide earrings – create a width effect
